AuthorTopic: Glom (Read 14934 times)

So, back to the topic, which is, I believe, the testing of glom as it exists in the VL 7 testing repository.

And as to this issue, I think it probably is working fine as a program, but that I don't know how to connect it to the postgresql database (and therefore data is not saved).

I am now using kexi, as Chris530 suggested, and it is pretty slick. But it has some glitches and, from what I read, glom is probably a better database for my purposes, given my limited knowledge of linux databases.

Anyway, this is just a report. If anyone knows postgresql, I bet he or she could tell us how to connect glom to it. If not, I will try to figure it out as time permits.

Would you do me a huge favor and install glom from the VL7 testing repository and see if you can, either when using the sample databases provided or otherwise, get glom to save data that you input? If you can get it to do that, would you then please reply, showing exactly what you did? I am not trying to get glom to access another database. I just can't get it to save data that I input on glom.

I'l probably need to wait until your keyboard is fixed. I don't know what to do with pg __dump, where and when to put it, etc., though trying it made me think of a couple of things I might try this weekend.

Glom may be a casualty of slackware's move away from gnome. I hope not. I sure can't get it to work right, either internally or externally, but I suspect someone on this forum, someone a lot smarter than me, will eventually figure it out. It would be good to have it working in Vector, even if the version is somewhat dated.

Basically, when trying to run glom locally, I first shut down postgresql (it starts on boot). Glom seems to start it but stops it just as I try to save.

If I turn the system postgresql on, I can't connect to the external postgres as I don't know how to set up the password properly.

In short, I am 99% there on both external and internal glom, but that last 1% is a bear.
